"True to its title, 'Post-Apocalypto' finds Tenacious D thrust into a world of complete and utter destruction following the drop of an atomic bomb. Surviving the attack in classic cinematic fashion (a good old imperishable 1950s refrigerator), the duo quickly learn that new forms of evil have spawned from the blast. One thing becomes apparent - for humanity to prevail, Tenacious D must save the world. With unimaginable twists and turns, an insane visit to the White House, a time machine, a space adventure, and the help of some tried-and-true daddy issues, Post-Apocalypto is as hilarious as it is political, and as brilliant and multi-faceted as its incredible creators."--Amazon.com.

I've never paid much attention to Tenacious D beyond the base knowledge that it was an odd band that Jack Black had on the side from his acting career. I wasn't really aware of what was in store for me when I picked up this book from the library, starting with the fact that it is an adaptation of an animated movie the group released in 2018 along with an album of the same name.
I often avoid adaptations, but I could not imagine I'd muster the energy or find the time to actually view the movie, so I trudged ahead. I tried just reading along, but the story quickly came to a scene that was obviously a song, so I reluctantly pulled up the audiobook version (a link is provided on the title page) and listened along. But listening to what seemed like an improv performance by a couple of drunk dudes quickly proved irritating, so I boosted the playback speed up to 1.75x and then it was tolerable. I slowed it down when the songs came around, but I'd speed those up too when they became too monotonous in their hard rock grind.
Anyhow, following nuclear armageddon, Jack Black and Kyle Gass wander around the post-apocalypse landscape eating junk food and having sex with various people and things. At some point a Terminator T-800 shows up and they are set on a mission to save the world, fighting the KKK and Nazis along the way. Mockery is made of Elon Musk and the Trumps. Offensive imagery and language is plentiful.
It's hard to criticize something that leans into being so deliberately and incredibly stupid beyond agreeing that they have indeed succeeded in creating something incredibly stupid. ( )
